How long will it take Aston Villa to get back to the Premier League?

4000+ VOTES SO FAR

“But again, the quality let us down against whether it was offensively or defensively.

“Certainly the first half, it was a bad time to concede.

“But we didn’t threaten the goal enough and it’s getting that balance.

“I thought we had a little go in the second half. We were slightly more adventurous and a bit more of a threat but it came to nothing.

“That said, these problems have not happened this week.”

Asked whether he will watch the game at the Stadium of Light tomorrow that will potentially decide Villa’s fate, Black said:

“I’ll probably have a look as I normally do on a Sunday.

“I didn’t even know the Norwich result until after I’d spoken to the players because I wasn’t interested.

“I was only focused on making sure we were professional and trying to win the game, It’s not been in the last month or so that this has happened. This has been something that is on-going and now looks like it’s irreversible.”
